MOZART'S PIANOFORTE SONATAS
Played by ANGUS MORRISON
IN listening to Mozart's pianoforte Sonatas, it should be borne in mind that keyboard music had scarcely passed the transition stage from the old instruments of the elavichord group, to the modern pianoforte : oven the pianoforte of Mozart's day had a somewhat slender, delicate tone as compared with the modern concert grand. None the less, his pianoforte music lends itself well to performance on a present-day instrument, with all the fullness and resonance which that has at command; dainty and delicate as arc many of his effects, there are passages which do call for the fullest tone which present-day players can obtain from a big instrument.

HERMAN FINCK , by no means the first bearer of the namo to achieve distinction in music, hns long been held in warm affection as purveyor of bright and tuneful pieces which have no other object than to entertain us. And that he has at command a real gift of fresh and natural melody has long been known to the whole country.
